I meet many interesting people while traveling. For both business and personal reasons I travel a lot. As I was always eager to speak to new people, i will someway start a conversation that had lead to many interesting information’s.

A common topic of discussion that comes up is vertigo. I have heard from many people who say that travel (both air and car) either causes their vertigo or that it makes it worse.

What does vertigo mean? It means spinning or whirling that is due to the disturbance in the balance of equilibrium. Vertigo is not considered as a disease, it’s a mere symptom. There are no certain conditions that cause vertigo and the cause is not always known.

If you’re planning a trip abroad in the near future, chances are you’ve been advised to purchase appropriate cover for the trip in case anything goes wrong. Travel, like life, is an adventure and therefore at times surprising and unpredictable. A good policy protects you against various possible trip-related financial and property losses, and helps ensure you receive the necessary services and assistance in case of accidents or medical emergencies. In short, having a policy, whether annual or single trip travel insurance, gives you greater peace of mind, enabling you to fully concentrate on your trip, whether it be for business or pleasure.

As with every other investment, however, there are many things to consider before purchasing your policy. If it is your first time purchasing a policy you could easily become confused or overwhelmed by the choices. One of the first decisions you need to make is whether to choose annual or single trip travel insurance. Both have advantages so considering your plans and your needs is the best way to make the right decision. Listed below are two instances where purchasing a single trip travel insurance makes more sense than purchasing an annual plan.

In some countries Christmas physically can’t be white. Different climates worldwide mean for some, such as Australia and South Africa, Christmas falls in summer which tends to be a very hot season.

It may seem bizarre to visitors but for locals it’s the standard, and festivities are more likely to be associated with the beach rather than snow-covered pine trees, seasonal German markets and mulled wine.

If you happen to be travelling at Christmas time or just fancy adopting some new traditions for your celebrations, why not learn to celebrate the Southern Hemisphere way?

South India is the southern part of India that comprises the states of Karnataka, Kerala, Andhra Pradesh, and Tamil Nadu, the union territories of Lakshadweep and Pondicherry, and the islands of Andaman & Nicobar. At times, the state of Goa is also considered to be a part of southern India. This region is quite a contrast to the northern part of India. While North India is mountainous, witnesses extreme temperatures and is landlocked, south of India is coastal, surrounded by bays and an ocean, with a relatively temperate climate. While the north Indian population originates from the Aryan clan, which is believed to descend from Europe, the South Indians find their genesis in the Dravidian dynasty, originating from Africa.

A traveller in southern India will be exposed to a diversity of landscapes, cultures, art forms, and people. Ornate temples, pristine beaches, colorful festivals, lush tea plantations, languid backwaters and exotic wildlife, South India is a treasure trove waiting to be ravaged by a hungry traveler. A trip to Tamil Nadu will take a tourist through exquisite temples, traditional art forms and cultural festivities. It is not surprising that the state is called the cultural capital of South India. The Madurai temple is one of the most well known temples in southern India. Not far from Tamil Nadu is the coastal land of Pondicherry, now officially recognized as Puducherry. A former French colony, Pondicherry is a charming getaway where travelers can bask on the sunny beaches and enjoy French caf by the promenade. Karnataka is known as the land of temples, and the capital city of Bangalore is Indias Silicon Valley with excellent weather.
